The final paper for this course should make use of the texts, theories, themes and ideas from the course to examine Richard Wright’s Native Son. The paper is 5-7 pages and must make use of at least TWO of texts in addition to Wright’s novel. The texts are:

You are responsible for developing your own topic. However, some of the themes that you may consider include:

• Tragedy and Native Son as tragic drama • Bigger Thomas: Tragic heroes ancient and modern • Society, the Absurd and tragedy • Habit, choice and expectation in Native Son • Art and lived experience • Tragedy as trial: Joseph K. and Bigger Thomas • Morality and Tragedy • Apollonian and Dionysian elements in Native Son • Fate and responsibility in Native Son • Native Son and catharsis

These are suggestions: you can choose any topic as long as it applies to Native Son and involves two other texts from the course.

Someone please give me a preview before considerating this paper! Thank you
